Picture This #384 ~ Intertwined

Many thanks to Anders for hosting this week, a good new theme that we haven't done before!! This one took some thinking about, but I think I found a good variety of shots from my archive that fit the theme!!

1) The 'Wriggly Tree'. This is one of my earliest digital photos, of a tree that has been almost engulfed by the intertwined branches of a creeper.

2) Predator and prey intertwined!!

3) The petals of this flower are still intertwined until it fully breaks open.

4) This family of Meerkats are intertwined for safety. Can you see baby meerkat peering out from underneath it's parents?

That is a wonderful tree, great upwards angle and almost magical. Shelob in your second shot? I love the macro of the yellow bud, the colors are so brilliant and seem to glow. And such a cozy shot of the meerkats; I had to look for the baby. Terrific!

Welcome To Picture This

Welcome to the new home for the 'Picture This' photographic group, originally on Multiply. This is a 'closed' group. Although anyone can follow the group, and comment on posts, only approved contributors can actually take part. If you wish to apply to be an approved contributor please send a request to picturethisTNG@gmail.com. We hold a weekly 'challenge' where the host chooses a theme and members can post up to three images of their own to match that theme.

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
